• Abstract:

  One of the biggest problems associated with the environment is

  management of urban solid waste (USW) and its relation with public health. In this

  context, this study aimed to demonstrate the current scenario of USW management

  in the cities of Salvador-BA and Curitiba-PR, and its impacts on public health, using a

  methodology substantiated on references of current legislation, based on both National

  Basic Sanitation Plan (PLANSAB) and National Solid Waste Policy (NSWP). Both cities

  have a consortium system in the MSW management process. However, the city of

  Curitiba - PR has Municipal Solid Waste Management Plan, while the city of Salvador

  - BA did not present a detailed management plan for the municipality. The influence on

  public health presents from the first moment of dispersion to the final destination, since

  such environments and processes, if not properly managed, are habitat for several

  vectors, which cause diseases to population. According to analysis of panorama of the

  two cities, both Salvador and Curitiba present a significant demand for actions that aim

  at a good management of the services of abstraction, management and disposal of solid

  waste. The city of Curitiba presents a comfortable position to meet the requirements

  of National Waste Policy, due to important municipal actions that are prior to said law.
